A new KomicsKast: Marvel Month by Month has been posted on the new KK feed at KomicsKast.com This one features comics cover dated August 1962 - and in particular Amazing Fantasy 15 and Journey Into Mystery 83. Derek Coward teamed up with me on the AF, and Lyle Tucker and Van Reid joined in on the JIM segment, to discuss those issues.

I also ramble on about the comics I recieved in my latest DCBS shipment, as well as those that I was expecting but did not receive (not DCBS's fault though).

I've been pretty lucky over the last couple weeks to receive four "first offered" movies; Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Expendables 2, Dark Shadows, and Men in Black 3. Am I really lucky, or is there some other reason that I've managed to get the four DVD's the first week they were offered?

I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy the show for all the media stuff going on, but ended up getting some good bargains, so in the end, I guess I did enjoy it afterall! On this podcast I just talk about some of the stuff I got, and why I bought it. Some of you younger folks may not even have heard of some of it!

I need to go a more in depth show on those various Archie Genre stories!

VERY short one this time. Spent the day wondering what I could talk about and realized that the only comic I've read all week was Captain Marvel. I don't normally like to do negative reviews, but it's all I got! But hey! The pups decided to wrassle in the background, so at least THAT might be exciting...

I talk about the Ultimates New Ultimates Collected edition, the (way too many) comics and books I got this week, and some things that intrigue me (or I think are of note) from the new Previews issue. All mixed in with lots of digression!

This time I go a bit off topic to talk about my thoughts and experience with various eBook readers. I haven't tried them all, so I can only tell you about the ones that I've tried, but I hope it's of help to those trying to decide if digital prose is for them or not.

A new Podcast I titled "On The Fly" for reasons I explain. This time I talk about the Mic Recorder App which allows me to Podcast from just about anywhere, and also Apple TV and Roku set top boxes. Feedback is appreciated!

This last episode on the New DC 52 includes my thoughts on; Justice League Dark 1, Savage Hawkman 1, Superman 1, Teen Titans 1, Voodoo 1, and All Star Western 1. Plus I also "grade on the curve" and tell you my top eleven issues, the one's that I'll be signing on for at the funnybook shop.

In this episode I discuss my thoughts on; Aquaman 1, Batman the Dark Knight 1, Blackhawks 1, The Flash 1, The Fury of Firestorm 1, Green Lantern New Guardians 1, and I, Vampire 1. There's also an audio comment from my friend Derek Coward as well as my thoughts on the nature of podcasting, or at least how it applies to me.

This time I discuss my thoughts on the New DC 52 titles: Green Lantern Corps 1, Legion of Super-Heroes 1, Nightwing 1, Red Hood and the Outlaws 1, Supergirl 1, and Wonder Woman 1. I also mention the Comic Podcast Crossover which you can find on the Comic Book Savant feed: http://comicbooksavant.com/home/2011/9/18/the-comic-podcast-crossover-villains.html or in the Comic Book Noise feed: http://www.comicbooknoise.com/2011/09/24/comic-podcast-crossover-villains/

This is the fourth week (third if you ignore the Justice League book coming out a week early) and in this episode I talk about my thoughts regarding: Batman 1, Birds of Prey 1, Blue Beetle 1, Captain Atom 1, Catwoman 1, and Deadman 1. This one was easier than normal because I liked them all! Some more than others, sure, but... well, listen and I'll explain...

In this Short Box segment, I talk about the third comic in the short box, Honey West #1 from Gold Key Comics, 1966. I also talk about some online digital comics, and end with just some stray thoughts from the past week regarding the cancellation of one of my favorite comics, Thor: The Mighty Avenger, some of the Geek TV shows I'm watching, and then I worry about all my "STUFF" that I'm accumulating and whether maybe I'm a hoarder or not.

In this episode I talk about the second issue in my short box of coverless comics, Tales to Astonish 93. And since that doesn't take too long, I also talk about a bunch of #1 issues that I've recently purchased.

My recent purchase of a short box of coverless 60's comics from several publishers has inspired me to start a sub-show wherein I read and talk about each of the issues as I pull them out of the box. I hope you enjoy it as well!

Lyle, Van, and I are back to talk about the Superhero titles from Marvel cover date July 1962, Fantastic Four #5, and Incredible Hulk #2.

Besides a rundown of the stories and our comments about anything and everything in the issues, Van tells us about some of the other things that were going on in April 1962, when these issues were probably actually on the newsstand.

If you'd like to read along with us and be a (sort of) part of the show, you can read these issues in:

Lyle Tucker, Van Reid, and I, summarize and discuss the 4th issue of Fantastic Four and the Incredible Hulk #1 as well as set the stage with other events that were going on at the time that these issues were on the newstand.

Other comics that were cover dated May 1962 can be found here at: My Comic Shop

This time out, due to a major cold, I decide NOT to highlight what's going on in the rest of the comics universes, but jump right into our recaps and comments regarding the two superhero books that Marvel put out in January 1961, Fantastic Four 2, and Tales to Astonish 27 (the latter has only a marginal superhero connection, but you'll hear all about that!)

I'm joined by my good friends Lyle Tucker and Van Reid, and even if no one listening enjoys this, I can tell you, I DID!

After a four month hiatus, KomicsKast is back with the first of what we hope will be many, breakdowns of comics by month. While the focus is on Marvel, we'll be talking about comics from many different companies. This time it's November 1961, the month Fantastic Four #1 came out (cover date).

I know, it was just yesterday that I uploaded the last audio blog, but I had a lot to say! This time I talk about (review?) Volume One of the Complete Gasoline Alley Dailies (Walt and Skeezix), and Volume One of the Complete Dick Tracy.

After Aaron gets done (and if you know Aaron, you'll know why we had to wait until he was done!) Jon, Stephen, and I talk about our BOP's (which you may recall, stands for Bottom of the Pile or the thing that we saved for last - the best).

Besides the new Marvel direct to DVD feature Next Avengers, I talk about my thoughts on Opening Atlantis by Harry Turtledove (after finishing it) and first impressions on starting Sebastian Faulk's new Bond novel, Devil May Care. Also my thoughts on the comic collections, Where's Dennis by Hank Ketchum, and Tall Tales by Al Jaffee.

Regulars Happy Jack and Dr. Sexy both happen to be on vacation this week, so Kwip invited me and Jason Becker (creator of Killing Pickman) to join him on the show. All in all we did pretty well I thought, with discussions on the Kirkman video from a creator's point of view. and some chatter about what came out last week at the comics shops.

You can go to [url="http://neenerneener.net/"]NeenerNeener.net[/url] to check out the show notes and download or listen (but beware, this one is not for the kiddies!)

Comics and books I got at the comic shop this week, comics and books I got in the mail, and comics and books that I picked up at the con last week. Noel Sickles, Chris Sanders and Kiskaloo, and understanding what's going on in Atomic Robo...

My recent visits to the chiroprator, an Iron Pigs ball game this weekend, the comics I bought last week, a book I'm reading, and one I'm listening to, and some comics I won from the Comic Book Attic podcast (comicbookattic.libsyn.com) arrived.

This time I spend a little (too much actually) time talking about my iPhone purchase and the whole Apple Store Experience. While I'm a big fan of Apple products, my time spent in the store did not impress me, but listen to the blog for more info on that topic!

Next up are some movies and TV shows that I've rented from Netflix, Elizabeth the Golden Age, Superman II the directors cut, Dark Shadows, and Curse of the Werewolf (with the young Oliver Reed).

Then I explain why it's my fault there's no BOP this week and then I spend time detailing what my BOP would have been.

Lastly, but most importantly, I implore you to head over to <a href='http://www.chrissandersart.com'>Chris Sanders Art .com</a> and check out Chris' amazing web comic, Kiskaloo! Calvin and Hobbes fans, as well as those of Walt Kelly's Pogo should be the most pleased,,,

Me again, rambling on about my crazy hectic week (again), the last live N3RDcast, my wifes run in with a kidney stone, my audio comment on Comic Book Noise 128, my package from Silver Comics, and the books I just got from the Science Fiction Book Club.

No real content, but I talk about deciding which Batman: Gotham Knight edition to buy, the single or the two disk set. My son Cory says, "no one writes Spider-man like Brian Michael Bendis does" and I think he may well be right after reading volume 19 of the Ultimate Spider-man tpb's.

What criteria should an aging tech junkie be looking for in his gadgets? Do I really need an iPhone? What about OpenMoko's Neo Freeruner? Would that be a wiser purchase? Will it be available from T-Mobile, who has served us well for over 5 years? Do I really need a Palm device on top of all the other gadgets I carry with me each day?

Before I get to the main feature of this episode, I babble on about things that I've been enjoying, like the Hammer Horror Films and Terry Pratchett's Discworld Books. I also talk about a book that I didn't enjoy so much, DC's Lightning Saga Graphic Novel. And then, to wash the evil taint from our mouths, I wax poetic about the wonderful FREE comic book downloads at WOWIO.

The main segment this time was inspired by my friend Aaron Macom of the SciFiDig Podcast, who was telling me how much he enjoys the rundowns I did of the Silver Age Superman comics. Well! Don't let it be said that I don't pay attention to my listener! So I asked him if it would be alright if it wasn't a Superman comic, and he said, "sure." Being that I've lately developed a very unhealthy longing to read the superhero revival comics from the "OTHER" companies, I chose one of the Archie superhero titles, and no, I don't mean from their mid 60's revival of their golden age heroes like The Shield, the Hangman, etc., NO! I'm go on to tell you about one of the comics wherein Archie himself becomes Pureheart the Powerful! I want to acknowledge the invaluable information for this segment that I garnered from the wonderful Don Markstein's Toonopedia website, a treasure trove of information on old comics, comic strips, and cartoons (all the things I love to talk about here!)

And then lastly, I have a sort of rerun. Since I stopped doing the Indie Comic Book Noise podcast over at Derek Coward's Comic Book Noise podcast network, I've still been submitting Small Press segments for the show. Derek has been kind enough to include them in the show, but I suspect that my audience here does not cross over with the ICBN, so I'm "re-running" those segments here, a few weeks later. This time out, I talk about the works of Justin Madson, the creator of the various comics that can be found at Just Mad Books.

What is it about a man and his BOP? What causes him to forego basic grooming habits to partake of this odd event? What drives him thru truckloads of evil nere-do-wells to snuggle up to his MP3 player listening to a couple of old geezers talk about childish things? What forces him to push thru a sleep-deprived fog of numbness to fill up a word box with stupid questions..just to look like hes writing something important?

The BOP my friends! I say unto you all...The BOP!!

OK..enough of that..No Jon today...hes at a convention...and we tried to call him but no answer..pfft...well heck..cant blame him for that. We kind of wish we were there with him...but...next week when he returns...I'll do my best to make him feel guilty..I mean you know I will!! Bruce is here..and well...we just put up with that..I mean come on..the guy needs this you know?

Filling in today is our good and understanding friend James...and we thank him for that.

This weeks BOP is short..well...short-ish. Got a new definitive version of the theme song. My buddies in the "Rice Cracker Project" put this version together for me.. and I think it sounds pretty sweet. So big thanks to Wayde and Nick on this...

Got a report from Bruce on Pulp con and wishing Jon fun on his Upcoming Comic com...oh,,,and I think the Audio problems have been delt with...at least I HOPE so.
